So you know someone (or five!) who is engaged and you want to get them something but you have no idea what that something is... Could be a congratulatory gift, or something specifically for a bridal shower. Either way, consider a gift basket. As y'all know, I'm the queen of gift baskets so you shouldn't be surprised that this is my recommendation!

First, find a basket. This can be something simple or extravagant, but my favorite place to hunt for them is Marshall's/HomeGoods, and my sister randomly found some gorgeous little two dollar gold wire baskets at Wal-Mart, who knew? Find a cute basket, then fill it up. here are some of my go-to's for new brides or mama's-to-be.

Champagne/Prosecco: Bubbly always gives off a celebratory vibe!

A Travel Champagne Cocktail Kit; whether they are traveling a lot to plan their wedding, or you want them to take it with them on their honeymoon, it will be used. So cute and compact, you can't go wrong. Sometimes you can even find these at Marshall's!

Cork Holder: I recently found these on ggmercantileco.com and every bride-to-be I know from now on will probably be getting one. It's the most classic little glass box with a note so you can save a special occasion cork and write down what it was from... I'm obsessed. They come in two sizes, one for a wine cork and another for champagne.

​For more elaborate gifts, you can also add things like a cookbook, apron, wedding planning book/binder, recipe box, etc. to show how much you care. Do you guys have any go-to items to include in bridal gifts? I'd love to hear them in the comments!
